Your Guide to Cancer Prevention was written by expert cancer nurses to arm everyday people, just like you, with information to understand your risk and incorporate lifestyle and screening practices to improve your health and lower your cancer risk. Chapters examine such common topics in cancer prevention as sun safety, health screenings, physical activity, alcohol and tobacco, radiation exposure, genetics, and more. Featuring an easily accessible writing style and helpful resources, glossaries, and evidence to support the content, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and managing cancer risk for themselves and their loved ones.
